Luke Potter of Encinitas, California, defeated Gavin Noble of Ringgold, Georgia, winning 3 and 1. Potter and Noble were neck-and-neck for most of the front-nine of their match, however an eagle on the par-5 No. 6 would give Potter the momentum to take the lead on the back-nine. After his performance in the Pool Play rounds of competition Potter moves into the elimination round of competition with a record of 3-0-0.

Trey Bosco of Austin, Texas, defeated Carson Bacha of York, Pennsylvania, winning 1-up. Bosco, currently ranked No. 67 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings, started off his match with a double-bogey on the par-4 No. 1 but quickly followed it up with an eagle and two birdies. He found his stride on the back-nine, where he led for eight of the nine holes. Bosco’s Pool Play record of 2-1-0.

Lucy Li of Redwood Shores, California, defeated Camille Boyd of Shanghai, China, winning 6 and 5. Li, a two-time Rolex Junior All-American went undefeated in the Pool Play portion of the competition. Li led for the entire round after carding three birdies and only one bogey.

Therese Warner of Kennewick, Washington, and Amari Avery of Riverside, California, halved their match. Warner, a University of Arizona signee, led for 14 holes until a string of bogeys would give Avery the chance to battle back. A bogey on the par-3 No. 18 made by Avery would lead to the match being halved and Warner moving on to the elimination rounds with a record of 2-0-1.
